Hi,

I assumed you r talking about a memory card, SD? Did your card reader work? Some card readers only read but no write access. Assume your card reader is working good. One way you can do is boot into safe and try to format t card again see if it work. Plug t reader in bf you go into safe mode. 2nd is borrow a camera or phone from your friends to format your card.
